NYC Driver Drags Person 20 Miles By Accident

NEW YORK (AP) - The driver of a van that dragged the body of a
man almost 20 miles through the streets of New York City says he
didn't feel or hear anything and didn't know what had happened.
The victim was first hit while apparently crossing against a
stop light in Queens by the driver of an SUV. That driver
immediately called 911. When police arrived, the victim was gone
and no damage was found to the SUV.
The van driver, who was about two vehicles behind, said he had
noticed cars swerving but didn't see the initial accident and
assumed the drivers were simply avoiding a pothole.
He says he had no idea he'd hit anything until the end of his
trip when someone told him he was dragging something under his van.
Investigators are working to identify the body, which was found
largely intact but horribly battered.
